Dragon City Team – “Demon Slayer”

Their comprehensive combat power was comparable to Tesla’s Particle Radiation Team, but in Han Dong’s view, their “functionality” was even higher.

Moreover, as the team captain, Gu Xu’s strength was still completely unknown.

If they could rely on the groundwork laid earlier and form an alliance with Dragon City Team, it would be extremely beneficial for Han Dong’s plans going forward.

The Final Treasure in the movie “Prometheus” was at most a piece of Epic-Level equipment. Compared to Han Dong’s ultimate goal, an epic piece of equipment might be precious, but it meant nothing.

However.

This point had become somewhat difficult because Han Dong was labeled as a Demon.

The original intention of creating the “Demon Slayer” was to eliminate all Demons in the world.

Even though Han Dong had proven his knight’s identity, one of the team members, Maritzis, was an unmistakably Demon… Forming an alliance would mean teaming up with a Demon.

Gu Xu did not agree to Han Dong’s alliance proposal immediately, but instead asked,

“First, tell us your purpose.”

“Hmm…”

Han Dong embraced Maritzis’ arm and shifted slightly to let her face the people of the Dragon City Team.

“Miss Mary and I were involved in the Door of Fate at the same time due to spatial disturbances, forced to participate in this event as a team.

It was difficult to eliminate the initial ‘hostile relationship’, and Miss Mary, being a rare Ancestor Return with a higher level than us, was even less willing to cooperate.

However, considering the danger of the True Fate, cooperation was forced.

We didn’t have any specific purpose initially; it was just about meeting the basic requirements and quickly leaving Fate Space”

Saying this.

Maritzis deliberately looked at Han Dong with a hostile expression, but soon changed her expression.

Han Dong continued, “After spending some time together, as well as the ‘Power Suppression’ setting in the City of Gods,

Miss Mary gradually began to accept us, and also became somewhat curious about the world of ‘Prometheus.’

After I occasionally came across some secrets in the ‘Lower City of Gods’, we also reached an agreement to delve deep into the secrets of the City of Gods… If we could find something worthwhile, it would be distributed fairly based on compatibility.

This is our purpose.

We were also forced into this world, randomly assigned… Not like Novikov, who had been planning for a long time.”

Han Dong purposely threw out the key phrase ‘Lower City of Gods.’

It not only strengthened the persuasiveness of his ‘purpose’ but also piqued the curiosity of the Dragon City Team.

After all, they had been living in the City of Gods for so long and even fought against the Dark Power that spilled from below, they must know some secrets.

Gu Xu nodded, “Hmm… let me think about it.”

At this moment, the performance of Han Dong and Dumps in the test area came into play.

Ancestor Return + Versatile Han Dong + Maximum Magic Power Dumps tilted the Balance.

After an internal discussion within the team, a consensus was reached.

“Let’s establish ‘half’ an agreement…”

“Half?”

“Since our goals are similar, let’s set our target on the ‘Lower City of Gods.’

Umm, we will start cooperating when the agreement becomes effective, including the upcoming ‘God-Chooser Examination’ and the exploration plan for the ‘Lower City of Gods.’

The reason it’s ‘half’ is that I want to leave us both some room to step back.

Once we successfully get through the multiple guards and reach the ‘Lower City of Gods’, peering into the secret of the City of Gods, the cooperation agreement will automatically terminate.

If there’s any treasure hidden below, it will be up to each one’s skill.

If the tasks and items hidden below can support us to divide them evenly without much strife over interests… we might also choose to renew the contract and continue the cooperation.”

According to Gu Xu.

‘Half an agreement’, giving both parties room to retreat, was not so much about both sides as it was Gu Xu himself wanting room to retreat.

However.

Dragon City Team was willing to set aside the issue of Demons and cooperate to head underground, which Han Dong found quite satisfying already… As for what kind of outcome this adventure would lead to upon witnessing the True Face of the City of the Gods, it didn’t matter much.

By then, the overall situation would have already been decided.

…

“Okay!”

Fate Space included a “Covenant” feature. As long as there were no rules prohibiting alliances, participating teams could apply for a “Covenant Scroll” from Fate Space.

As long as the contents of the covenant were clearly written on it and both parties agreed subjectively, voluntarily leaving their handprints, the covenant would be established.

Violators of the covenant would be directly punished by Fate.

“The team you establish a temporary covenant with is tagged with ‘Demon.’ Once the covenant is signed, you will also be affected, and certain fate-assisting functions will be immediately disabled.”

“Do you wish to sign the covenant?”

Upon receiving the system prompt, Gu Xu didn’t hesitate much and signed the covenant along with Han Dong.

The covenant was established.

Han Dong quickly asked a rather important question, “What if we come into a conflict of interest with the ‘Particle Radiation’ team, how shall we handle it?”

“Handle it normally, just eliminate them… but try not to kill them if possible.

Tesla and his team are good-hearted, not the same type of people as Novikov.

More importantly, Tesla’s identity is special, if anything happens, it would provoke the fury of the capital.”

“Okay… Let’s leave it here for today.

After we pass the ‘God-Chosen Examination,’ let’s start discussing the plan to head to the ‘lower end.’

I hope everyone passes the examination smoothly and we can all go together to the depths underground and witness the True Face of the City of the Gods.”

“Then we will head back now.”

About ten minutes after the Dragon City Team left, a wave of mad laughter echoed through the private room of the bar.

Ha ha ha~ Ah~

Under the astonished gazes of his teammates, Han Dong, with one hand pinching his cheek, tried to suppress the overflowing waves of mad laughter as much as he could…

Because this type of laughter had, to some extent, the characteristics of the ‘clown virus.’

The atmosphere of the entire bar was stirred up, and the laughter reverberated through the streets.

The step taken by the Dragon City Team was hard and a bit unstable, but the covenant between the two teams was enough to set the general situation.

“Everything is almost ready.

The next step will be very important.

I don’t know what kind of opportunities will arise during the God-Chosen Examination… I hope my ‘Mythical-Level Contact’ can be elevated.”

…

A week passed.

Han Dong learned from the mouth of the Terror Source High Priest that Tesla and others had also reached the ‘Black Slaves’ stage and registered for the examination about five days after them.

During this week, Han Dong was not idle.

He threw the quite useful ‘John’s Spine’ to the Alien Engineer in the White Giant Temple, which upgraded the item to ‘John’s Spine (Alien Version).’

Just as his teammates received one ‘Examination Preparation Complete’ message after another, Han Dong’s end had yet to respond.

Han Dong contacted the high priest, who merely asked Han Dong to be patient… The reason for the extended waiting time was because the ‘Nine Gates Journey’ was quite special and rarely chosen by anyone.

This type of examination related to the Death Field was too dangerous.

After waiting three more days,

While reading in the Pyramid Library, Han Dong smelled a scent of death.

Beneath the library floor, black water marked with the death attribute seeped out.

It formed a dog-headed Messenger resembling ‘Anubis,’ wearing a vivid gold collar, and wielding a curved black staff.

“The ‘Nine Gates Journey’ is ready, follow me.”
